• Safety – The Cardinals still have a little free agent money left, but the safety market has been set pretty high in terms of per year salary, and that may not be the way to go.

Enter the draft, and the Cardinals may find themselves in a perfect position to select a play-making safety on day one or two.

There are safeties of all flavors in this draft: big physical in-the-box types, rangy ball hawks, guys who can play slot coverage and safeties that can man up on tight ends.

While the Cardinals may want to find an answer to their tight end coverage problem, that may not be the biggest requirement the team is looking for. Arizona’s coverage schemes may need tweaking instead of just finding a new player.

• Offensive line- THE CARDINALS’ BIGGEST NEED MAY NOT BE OFFENSIVE LINE.

That may be the most shocking offseason outcome in years, but there are still some questions.

The left side is HOPEFULLY locked down for the foreseeable future, but they have a center who’s average at best, a fourth-round rookie guard competing with one of the worst-graded guards in the NFL, and Bradley Sowell or Bobby Massie at right tackle.

While many people are enamored with Massie, the Cardinals do not seem to be, and Sowell, well, he worked hard last year, but he’s at best a good swing back-up tackle.

• Cornerback – While Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu are a formidable duo, and Jerraud Powers offers you an average CB2, the Cardinals are in a precarious position moving forward.

The cornerback market was set this offseason with lavish deals to guys like Aqib Talib, Darrelle Revis and Alterraun Verner, and unfortunately for the Cardinals, Revis and some guy named Richard Sherman will be free agents next year, much like Peterson.

The Cardinals hold an option for a fifth year on his contract, and will likely use that. They have the ability to franchise tag Peterson after 2015, but want to get something carved out sooner rather than later or have a replacement in place.

• Tight end – While the Cardinals have a roster full of tight ends, none of which have been able to stay healthy in their careers, they still need to find a young, healthy, option that can catch (that last part is for Mr. Housler).
